Abe the Wizard

Chapter 290 Underground Tunnel

Abel carefully opened the cover of the box, inside was a little blue howling rabbit vigilantly looking at him. Although there were screeching continuously emerging from its mouth, Abel could clearly tell it was very weak. He understood Old Mund’s hesitance when raising them,

Abel closed the cover and opened the defense and barrier circle. He hung the 6 wooden boxes on the Black Wind’s back and speeded to put the portal towards Rogue encampment.

He searched out a bottle of blue Recovery potion from the Kong Kong spirit portal bag and fed some to a blue howling rabbit within one of the wooden boxes. Recovery potion could recover the strength of one’s body. However, for a young blue howling rabbit, an entire bottle would be too much. Therefore, Abel needed to feed them less according to their body ratio.

He wasn’t sure if it was because of the blue Recovery potion or the mana dense atmosphere in the Rogue encampment, but the 6 young blue howling rabbits had regained their strength after a while.

Abel did not have enough time to breed these blue howling rabbits. Originally, he planned to just supply large amounts of grass, cut out a piece of land in his palace and use a mana gathering circle to create an environment suitable for those blue howling rabbits to grow.

However, since Countess Carrie had sent some extremely young ones, Old Mund’s explanation gave Abel an idea to directly breed these blue howling rabbits here.

Blood Moor had been whipped clean a few times, so basically, no more hell creatures could be seen. The only thing left here was grass, and the temperature was also very suitable for blue howling rabbits too. Those 6 blue howling rabbits were dead to the Grand Ducal palace since they were too weak anyway, so he would give it a try. What could Abel lose?

Abel brought the 6 blue howling rabbits to Blood Moor and placed them next to the oak tree. As soon as he placed them on the ground, they were frightened by the new environment. However, under the swaying of the leaves, Abel could tell those rabbits were slowly getting back to normal. Afterward, they started to get more energetic as they began to eat the densely grown grass on the ground.

Seeing the power of the oak tree, Abel was shocked. He was still not too familiar with his contracted oak tree, but now he realized something. This tree could appease animals. This was the Druid’s ability. He Abel had not grasped this ability since he had just become a Druid, yet this oak tree was doing it very well.

Let’s leave it to destiny if these blue howling rabbits could survive or not. Abel no longer had the energy to care. He just wanted to keep opening up the path to the Dark Forest.

Abel arrived at the entrance of the underground tunnel again. The mine had been separated by a giant rocky mountain. It’s enormous peak pushed this mine towards the edge of the world, and a shiver provoking sound would emerge from the pitch-black cave from time to time.

Abel took out the night pearl necklace and placed it on his shoulder. The 4 spirit guardian knights were skeleton in the first place anyway, so they didn’t need to care about darkness. The spirit wolves were also assassins in the dark. The poison creepers did not have eyes, so it just operated purely on its senses. Even the ravens were expert flyers in the dark.

Abel was the only one in the team who needed some kind of lighting device. However, after they entered the tunnel, he soon realized his night pearl was unnecessary. The oak sage’s glow was much brighter.

As Abel was thinking, a ball of lighting flew directly towards them. Since their eyes still hadn’t adjusted to the dark environment, this surprise attack shocked them a little.

The spirit guardian knight captain was different. After taking many ‘soul potions,’ they have enough fighting ability to command another spirit guardian knight to stand in front of its owner to protect him. The other 3 spirit guardian knights disappeared from the spot and flew forward like a flash of lighting.

The oak sage protected itself by standing behind its owner, while the 5 spirit wolves flashed forward with the spirit guardian knights.

At least 10 lighting balls struck upon the spirit guardian knight in front of Abel, but its health was strong. As long as its head was still attached and none of its parts were missing, it could continue to fight. Moreover, Abel had made a full set of armor for it, so even though this was a spell attack, it was not easy to knock it down in one strike. The most important thing was to give it some time to recover since its full set of equipment had a +1 health recovery rate.

Black Wind had also got adapted to the light. In a twitch, it had already arrived on the battlefield. There were around 100 green-skinned, tall built, bullhead monsters with 2 horns on their heads, howling while swinging their sharp claws towards Abel’s summons. A flash of lighting appeared with every one of their strikes.

Those were Tainted. They could use natural lighting to recover their abilities. As long as they had enough distance, they would unleash a lighting ball just like earlier. To the defenseless Abel, a lighting ball would hurt Abel quite a lot. If the spirit guardian knight did not stand in front of him, he was basically helpless.

Through the glow of the night pear and the Oak Sage, Abel could see around 10 Tainted from afar, slowly stepping back. They were trying to create enough distance to unleash the lighting ball. Abel used his druid soul’s power of the will to send the 5 ravens speeding towards those Tainted, distracting them until they could no longer unleash their lighting ball normally.

Abel unleashed a continuous charging bolt through his hand, and a wave of electric arcs arose from the ground. However, just when he thought his light bolt would take a large chunk of health from his enemy like before, he was caught by surprise. The lightning bolts did not do any damage to the Tainted, and 2 of the injured ones had even stood up and joined the battle again after being struck.

By this point, Abel realized those Tainted had a natural defense towards lighting. They were natural rulers of lighting.

Abel changed the weapon in his hand into a Bane Ash, a dark gold magic staff. Afterward, a powered-up rank 14 Firebolt shot out directly from the top of the magic staff towards those Tainted.

The true power of the Tainted could only be seen during long-distance battles. They were a disaster in close battles, so they were basically hopeless against the spirit guardian knights who had inherited the official knight fighting ability of Abel.

Even a spirit wolf was more powerful in close distance battles than a Tainted.

Actually, in this battle, the most powerful attacker was not the spirit guardian knights, nor the spirit wolves; it was the poison creeper. It had injected poison upon every single Tainted on the ground, and it had managed to replenish their poison every time they recovered. Although none of the Tainted had been directly poisoned to death, a large chunk of their health was taken up by the poison.

Fire attacks were known as the most powerful spell. Although a rank 13 Firebolt was still the lowest ranking spell among all the fire spells, it could still cause 3-31 fire damage. Basically, every single Firebolt could kill a Tainted.

With as much as 600 points of mana, Abel had enough to keep unleashing Firebolt without a single worry.

Just when Abel thought those Tainted would soon be whipped out, a string of lighting ball struck 2 spirit wolves directly into death protection. Under the glow of the lighting bolt, Abel saw gold Tainted hiding in a dark corner from afar.

Abel’s heart dropped when he saw the 2 spirit wolves instantly struck into death protection. The defense of those spirit wolves was even stronger than his since they were the main force of an official druid at the end of the day. Both their attack or defense could hurt an official wizard.
